Why are cars just getting bigger and heavier
Is it because everyone's getting fatter ?
Where does pierce br/o/snans stand on this
now that evs are dying can cars get lighter again or will hybrids make them even heavier!?

Pretty much, no fat fuck on earth would pop the hood on a car either that's why they all drive plastic engined rentals.

EV's aren't dying, though. Did you really just post make a retarded post just to trash talk something you've never owned or driven?
>>
2 big reasons
1) American regulations distinguish trucks from cars so mid-size and full-size SUVs can get to market with less regulatory overhead and inhibitions on what can be done
2) the market wants bigger because people feel safer and more comfortable in bigger vehicles
The reason crossovers and compact SUVs are still selling is in spite of this. What are currently crossover options would’ve just been sedans in the past. And the only reason coupes are hanging on is the luxury/performance market. For passenger vehicles, everyone wants an SUV. It’s fair honestly. I mean, they are the single most useful and comfortable vehicle you can buy.

suvs and even awd 4wds are fucking gay
people whinged about fuel econ which killed off the big sports sedans are wagons yet all they buy is fucking 4mpg trucklet shit

These are the the most realistically describable reasons. There's something about social conformity, surveillance, and sedentary life in there too.

>>
>>28093578
We have to be honest. Most of the sedans over the last 2 decades have been dog shit and totally gay. If there’s anyone to blame for the death of the sedan and ascendancy of the SUV it’s the manufacturer and maybe the regulators as well. The customers are simply responding to the offerings. You look like a limp wristed fruit cup driving anything else and that’s half the reason people buy these big vehicles. So cope and seethe from your Dodge Caliber or whatever I guess.

while normally id agree my sedans are anything but limp and im not american

>>
>>28093593
It has nothing to do with that, dude. Go and look through lineups through the 90s, 00s, and 10s and look at consumer demand. What you see is that formerly nice, interesting, cool sedans became uglier and uglier and gayer and gayer or more and more boring until they got killed off while the Tahoes, Yukons, Expeditions, 4Runners, Wranglers, etc. stayed more or less the same. People simply bought what the market provided. Even if you wanted to buy a sedan made in the last 10 years that isn’t totally gay what are you going to buy? You’ve got some new Cadillacs you can’t afford, a charger that some basketball-american beat the fuck out of, and a fucking Kia Stinger. The coolest sedan in recent memory is the Kia Stinger. Meanwhile, there’s like a dozen SUVs that have the cool factor. You can’t blame people for buying bigger vehicles if the alternatives are shit. Plus, you don’t get shit for driving an old F150 or Tahoe, but an old Impala or Altima? People think you’re a bum. I don’t see what being sedentary has to do with that…
>>
>>28093604
Well, if you’re European there are still good sedan options but those are pricey luxury vehicles here in America. If you’re like a couple or parents you can buy an Audi sedan or you could buy a 4Runner and the 4Runner will be 10x more useful for the average suburban American lifestyle that’s likely to include road trips, camping, tailgating, hauling bicycles and skis, stuff like that.
>>
>>28093600
>Most of the sedans over the last 2 decades have been dog shit and totally gay.
And the crossovers that have replaced them are even more dogshit.

Even the class leaders like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5er are losing buyers to whatever GLE and X5 are there.

>>
>>28093612
I agree, but those are a minority of the market. It’s not the average American consumer that’s looking to buy a crossover. It’s Americans who can’t afford an SUV or the reluctant liberal “trucks are literally killing us” guy who doesn’t want an SUV but also can’t help but getting something bigger than a sedan because it’s objectively more useful. You know? Like if you’re some faggy urbanist college professor and you want a weekend warrior vehicle but hate SUVs, a Subaru Crosstrek is a lot better for your Saturday trips to the local cycling trails than your Legacy.
>>
>>28093620
So what do you drive?
>>
>>28093606
Yeah, totally, hence why I said that guy had the best reasons. CAFE and safety laws made it so bigger cars have larger profit margins.
There IS another factor though. Once everyone got cameraphones people became less and less likely every year to stand out for fear of being made fun of for being different. Social media and cameras being everywhere forced everyone into conformity, and usually when people step out of line it's to make money on social media as a stunt.
People make fun of anything out of the norm and people are both judgemental and nervous these days. It wasn't always like this.
But, again, the laws and availability are a larger factor, maybe... but the mentality I speak of may have contributed to the creation of said laws.

I really don’t think that has anything to do with it man. Social media exists in other countries where sedans still sell relatively well and there are sedans that score cool points on social media even here in America, like the Cadillac CT and Dodge Charger. The hard truth is that most sedans are just shitty, ugly, gay, or boring and have been for a long time. They’re not really good at anything. They’re not as sporty as a coupe, not as capable as an SUV or truck, not as comfortable as an SUV or truck, and they’re not even much better on gas mileage than some of these SUVs. They’re just not good. I don’t think social media has much to do with it.

Well, those in other countries are legally forced to drive smaller cars because of taxes, and the US is forced to drive large cars for regulations. There is no free market where you could truly say social things matter, but they are a smaller factor - and once all the cars are huge it becomes the main factor because people don't want small cars b/c they'll stand out. The laws feed into social perception of "normalcy" after enough years.

It's jewish regulation making it illegal for a light car to not get 300mpg while other jewish regulation makes it illegal to not cripple your engine with multiple useless "emissions" parts that devastate both power and fuel efficiency.
Go wonder why we had cars in the 80s with 40-60mpg and now they're bragging about 25.
>>
>>28093660
Is it standing out or is it safety? I don’t know if you’ve ever been in heavy traffic on a crowded city highway driving a small sedan or coupe while you’re surrounded by big trucks and SUVs. It is nerve racking. Especially because we all know how they drive. They don’t give a fuck and their Tahoe will turn your sedan into a crumpled tin can.
>>
>>28093686
>Is it standing out or is it safety?
It's "safety" to them, but I think that's a farce, they just want a big vehicle for their consoomer ego.
Smaller cars can avoid accidents easier. But no one cares about that.
I was hit while stopped in my miata by an expedition at 50mph, I didn't even feel sore after. I've been in a Fiat 500 that hit the back of a semi at over 80 mph, again, not a bruise.

Life is complicated, there is no one variable to these things. Sometimes cars sold to the poorest people will be involved in accidents because they're angry and on the verge of death every day. Because there are social and economic factors involved, saying lighter cars are "more dangerous" is disingenuous at best and manipulative more likely.

>Why are cars just getting bigger and heavier
1) CAFE regulations, a fuckhuge truck that gets 20MPG is penalized less than a full-sized sedan that gets 25MPG or something like that
2) Safety regulations, cars are fat and bloated and retarded so they can fit a million gay airbags and sensors
3) Both 1 and 2 make most nucars ugly and gay. I remember sitting in my friend's F150 a while back and thinking "wow, actual fucking visibility)
I'm not sure what's going on in Europe but it seems like their new cars are fat and retarded too.

No. The only way to fix this is a massive cultural zeitgeist shift or whatever I'm fucking exhausted so I don't care that it's word salad. Caring about crash safety is for women, redditors, and baby boomers.

I've never had much issue with a sedan for anything other than hauling objects that literally won't fit in one and can't be safely strapped to the outside. I can throw a canoe on the top and hitch bikes to the back, and interior space is adequate enough, though I won't pretend it isn't tight with multiple people and their shit

hell, I know I'm in the minority because there's all of two people I know (both car people) who don't look at me with visible confusion when I talk about replacing my sedan with a different sedan when the bottom rusts out

That's probably part of it; fatties have a hard time getting in and out of small vehicles, and a vehicle needs to be bigger and heavier to haul more weight after a certain point. I think a bigger driving factor is overregulation in safety and emissions incentivizing heavier vehicles, and women and insecure men liking big cars because it makes them feel safer or more masculine respectively.

A little bit but not exactly. There was a surge in the popularity of light trucks in the 90s in response to the strong economy and the energy crisis era being over so larger vehicles were desirable again. Manufacturers decided it was cheaper and easier to turn a truck into a family hauler than go back to RWD oldskool cars because they'd already invested a shitton in converting to FWD cars during the '80s. CAFE was a little bit of a factor because although it had been lowered a few pegs in the late 80s, trucks were not subject to CAFE at all nor the gas guzzler tax.

There was somewhat of a cultural/generational shift as California and baby boomers influenced trends rather than the GI Generation and the Northeast. It became cool to run TV commercials showing a Bronco driving through mud instead of what you did in the 60s which was show some wannabe aristocrat from Long Island getting into a Cadillac sedan and his butler opens the door for him. That made trucks seem more hip than the land barges of old.

Well yeah as >>28100446 proved. People would drive small cars in the OPEC era when the government essentially forced them onto you but not when they had an option. Obama tried a similar retarded stunt although manufacturers instead just built the same old SUVs but with turbo I4s instead because nobody wanted to really go back to driving a Chevette. Some attempts like the Honda Fit and Chevy Spark weren't all that successful.

>CAFE was a little bit of a factor because although it had been lowered a few pegs in the late 80s, trucks were not subject to CAFE at all
Totally wrong. The standards weren’t lowered until the mid 2000’s, when light trucks gained their own category. They’d grown stricter ever year, and all non-commercial vehicles were included in the average.

Corporate Average Fuel Economy
The fuel economy of all vehicles produced by a manufacturer are averaged together and have to meet a specific standard. The standards get stricter over time, forcing manufacturers to find more efficient solutions. This started in the 1970’s.

By the mid-2000’s, consumer demand was making it impossible to meet those standards. People wanted bigger vehicles, or manufacturers convinced people to buy bigger vehicles (either one could be true). The auto industry then lobbied congress to change the standard. The solution was a separate category within the CAFE standard for light trucks. It would no linger he just a simple average, but a more complicated formula.

“Light truck” isn’t defined by having a bed. It’s determined by ride height, weight, and approach and departure angle. Pickups and SUV’s (and later crossovers, which didn’t exist at the time) would all meet the qualification as a light truck. Minivans did not.

Later, in the mid 2010’s, the overall area of a vehicles body was added to the formula. This is when we really saw crossovers take off, as well as the bloating of every car out there.

If CAFE standards had remained, we’d all be driving an econobox. It was the relaxing of CAFE standards that resulted in bloating. If CAFE standards were scrapped, everything would be enormous.

I’m not sure why Boomers on Facebook (aka You) think the CAFE standards resulted in larger vehicles. It’s literally the opposite.

Yes, absolutely. Without CAFE standards, vehicle manufacturers would just mass produce tiny commuters with incredible gas mileage and low profit margins because… well they just would. Also people would stop buying SUV’s and trucks for the same reason.

CAFE standards push bloat because they are based on vehicle footprint, forcing larger cars because the MPG standard for small cars is not realistic.

No one is buying EV's and the only company selling them well enough is Tesla and Toyota still make x10 the amount of cars as Tesla alone.
The used market is bad for used EV's too, depreciate like a rock and especially for none Tesla EV's. Get a good bargain on a Porsche Taycan over here in Bongland though on the used market, like £60k for a Taycan Turbo S and that's £170k brand new.

>they are the single most useful and comfortable vehicle you can buy.
I would say neither compared to a station wagon.

>useful
wagons have more cargo space.
the fact that neither station wagons nor suvs usually have a third row of seats also remains a clear advantage when it comes to the shape of the storage space and the board height.

>comfort
wagon has more wheelbase and its suspension does not need to compensate with stiffness for tilting.
a higher center of gravity requires more tilting, but in most cases stiffer springs are installed in suvs so that the vehicle is more like a limousine than a truck.
this stiffer suspension conveys dynamical movements but probably has a not inconsiderable share in the easier break behavior out of suvs.
what remains is the ease of boarding and the slightly better view of the traffic, although this is of course no longer a given if everyone is driving something a suv in front of you.

the functional advantages of the station wagon clearly outweigh a suv.
in the end, I think the buyer is tempted to buy the suv by a mixture of a misguided sense of safety (the suv is has a higher overall risk of accident) and ease of entry.
actually just another step in the direction of emotional safety at the expense of weight and wear, which is why it disgusts me so much.
